One of my first attempts at using Document Composer isn't going very well. I'm not enjoying this GUI tool.

Question: How do you change the page margins?

They're currently at 0.5 inches for each side (I don't recall if I had set this up upon creating the program or if this is the default). I'd like to change them to 0.25 inches, but I can't find the margin setting anywhere. Of course, I can edit the code, but that's not the objective here.

In the Text editor tab I changed METADATA='0.5^0.5^0.5^0.5^4' to METADATA='0.25^0.5^0.5^0.5^4', then switched back to the Design tab - a text box that was 0.25 inches high changed to 38 inches high.

Thank you. I didn't go that far in the Properties tree, and couldn't find the information in the Document Composer manual.

Cheers,


Francis
